Commercial Site Supervisor - Complex Claims - #451298
First Onsite Property Restoration
Date: 11 hours ago
City: Kitchener, ON
Contract type: Full time

Join First Onsite as a Site Supervisor (WRT Certified)
Are you a hands-on lead with IICRC WRT certification and a passion for turning chaos into calm? First Onsite is seeking a skilled Site Supervisor to lead water damage and commercial restoration projects with precision, urgency, and care. In this role, you'll be at the heart of recovery - coordinating crews, equipment, and timelines to bring businesses back to life after disaster strikes.
You'll work closely with our Operations Manager to keep field operations running smoothly, support crew efficiency, and ensure every project meets First Onsite's gold standard of safety and quality. You know how to lead by example, solve problems on the fly, and communicate clearly with both your team and our clients.
We offer competitive wages based on experience, along with an exceptional extended health plan (medical, dental, and vision), employee assistance program, educational support, career development, and the chance to grow within a national company that truly values work-life balance and internal advancement.
If you're ready to step into a leadership role where your skills, certification, and sense of purpose truly matter-apply today.
A Day in the Life of a Site Supervisor at First Onsite
Your day starts early-with a strong coffee and a quick scan of the project schedule. Before most people have settled into their desks, you're already on-site, walking through the job with your crew, reviewing the plan, and ensuring everyone is clear on the scope and safety expectations. You're the calm in the chaos, the one who sees the big picture while catching every small detail.
You're reviewing demo progress on one site, fine-tuning a material list for repairs on another, and fielding a call from a Project Manager who needs eyes on a new work order. You've got your finger on the pulse-scheduling in-house crews, keeping everyone accountable, and making sure quality never slips. Whether it's approving timesheets, coordinating with subs, or quickly adjusting the plan when something unexpected comes up, you handle it all with purpose and professionalism.
Throughout the day, you're keeping clients, crews, and managers in the loop, making sure work moves forward safely, efficiently, and to First Onsite's high standards. You're not just supervising-you're building trust, leading by example, and helping your team take pride in every step of the recovery process.
At the end of the day, you don't just look back at what got done-you look ahead to what's coming next. Because for you, every project is personal. Every site is a chance to rebuild something meaningful.
